Comment 10 for bug 1713532

I'm glad, then, I waited until someone reacted to my "plan".

Checking /var/log/kern.log, I have the log from when I first booted w/ the failing situation.
I know this, because I shutdown (rare) in anticipation of a coming Hurricane Harvey, and tweeted the next day when weather was stable.

The (attached) log - the interesting starting point, first boot w/ intel-microcode 3.2017.07.07.1 is "Aug 26 12:52" (shutdown was "Aug 26 00:10").

In the meantime, I'll upgrade just the intel-microcode to the Ubuntu release, and shortly provide that associated kern.log and /proc/cpuinfo, then cycle thru the various debian releases @hmh listed, and (finally) end with Ubuntu upgrades, including intel-microcode and kernel.

Let's see what happens...
